    This type of card is right up my alley, a nice looking lower grade card. Slingin’ Sammy Baugh

    I've spammed various threads on the board with Lenny before. This card is gonna lead to me get a few more 56 Topps down the line. Brazile is not bad for an 8. Not as vintage as the others but, somewhat vintage to me :)

    Always love seeing a Jimmy with no print dots or snow on that beautiful field of black.

    I haven't shared anything for while...

    Here are some HOF samples from my raw 1953 Bowman set. My goal is mid-grade but well-centered. Just a few more upgrades and I'll be there!

    Those ‘53’s are Stunning! Well centered mid grade cards are where it’s at for me.

    That’s a great looking Layne, is the back messed up? The “MC” qualifier confuses me

    The card was slightly miss cut on the back. It was very hard to tell. I don't think it deserved the qualifier

    Bambi and a double shot of Willie. My middle name being Lance, and my Dad naming me after Alworth required me to make a decent effort to get a nice copy of the rookie ;) . I grew up hearing a lot about Willie D and Willie L also. Not just the whole "great player" thing, but the fact both guys were high IQ, very intelligent players, coach-on-field types and classy.

    Technically neither are football cards but they are vintage!
    A couple oddball from my Sammy Baugh collection.
    Love the Stancraft back with the period helmets of each team.
    Dixie Lid with Sunfreze back.

    Remember my uncle telling me what an incredible backfield Towler &
    "Tank" Younger were back in their day!
    He said along with Marion Motley they were the "toughest to bring down
    backs" he had ever seen.
    Always loved those Bowman cards!

    The Bull Elephant Backfield of the early 50’s Rams was what he was talking about, they had another guy named Dick Hourner too. Motley was obviously in Cleveland but he was a big dude too!
